The hunter

Sophia’s friends

Eric pov

I walked through the forest looking for a big game for Sophia and me. With winter a month away well need to start smoking fish and preserving meat. A nice big deer or maybe a manticore even if the meat is tough. I heard a branch snap on my right, and I stopped dead in my tracks. I slowly looked to the side and saw a large buck with a nice fifteen point rack. I smiled as I slowly got into a shooting position on my right knee. I aimed for his chest but waited for her it to face me. I wanted a clean kill so I can keep the skin for a part of a blanket or some boots for Sophia. After another ten minutes, the buck turned and looked at me as I pulled the trigger. The sound of my gun echoed in the forest, and the deer ran off into the woods. I jumped up and chased the buck as it ran. I lost it a few times, but after twenty minutes the deer dropped to the ground and lucky for me about half a mile from our cabin. I gutted the deer then dragged out back it back to the cabin.

“Just in time, it’s about to get dark.”

I looked up at Sophia and saw that she had her hair pulled into a ponytail as she worked on a pair of homemade gloves. I frowned as I let the deer drop. I walked over to her and grabbed her hands. “I’m sorry that I can’t give you more. I know this life isn’t much, but I’ll give you whatever I can.” She smiled as she leaned her head against my chest.

“I know you do your best and to be honest. You’ve done more for me than anyone else. I haven’t had to go a day without food or clean water. I don’t have to worry if today is the day I’d be raped or forced into slavery.”

I held her tightly as her I felt little tears forming wet spots on my chest. She wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug. I smiled as she softly cried into my chest. She calmed down as she pressed her head a little more into my chest.

“Hey Eric, do you think we could have a puppy?”

I froze as she had just asked me if we could have a baby. I pulled back and looked down at her for a second. “Um, Sophia I don’t know if we can even…” I stopped when she grabbed my face and looked at me.

“Can or can’t I want to try, and I want my puppies to be from you. Not from one else only you.”

She pulled my head down to hers, and our lips met in a soft kiss. I hesitated for a moment, but soon I kissed her back. I wrapped my arms around her waist and opened my mouth. She did the, and our tongues meet for the first time. However, our kissed quickly when I heard another branch snap behind us. I let Sopha go and spun on my feet grabbing my knife. I stopped when I didn’t see anything. “Sophia, go inside and get dinner started I’m going to clean that deer and bring it in as fast as I can.”

“Watch yourself, Eric.”

She quickly ran into the cabin and shut the door. I picked the deer back up and dragged it over to the pit I had for trash. I didn’t want a lot of blood near the cabin. It took a good twenty minutes to skin and butcher the meat we could eat. I wrapped the meat up in the fur and quickly ran up to the cabin. I didn’t like that I didn’t know what snapped that branch. I opened the cabin door and saw Sophia cutting up potatoes with an extra knife I took from the guard I killed. I locked and barred the door just in case someone was out there and not something.

“Give me one of those smoked fish please.”

I handed her a large smoked catfish. She cut the meat from the fish as I started preserving the meat with the salt. After another hour I had finished, and Sophia had finished dinner.

“Catfish soup.”

She handed me a bowl, and I thanked her for the meal. I sat down in my chair, and Sophia sat down on the bed as she ate. There was enough of the soup left for another six helping so we have breakfast tomorrow morning. I watched the only door in the cabin waiting for something to happen.

“Eric, what do you think about it?”

I looked at her as I took another bite of catfish. “You mean the puppy right?” I looked down at the bowl as she moved her spoon in soup.

“Yes, I’m more than old enough to be a mother. Your a powerful male, a warrior and a good provider.”

I frowned as I looked at her. “Sophia, I understand those reasons, but I want to be married before I have kids.” She blushed as she looked at me.

“But, you're already my alpha Eric. You own me and my body. You can do anything to me. Throw me out into the forest or to kill me it doesn't matter.”

I sat the bowl down and stood from my chair. I walked over to Sophia, and she looked up at me. “I want to marry you before we have a puppy.” She wrapped her arms around me as she spoke.

“There is no marriage in a pack. The alpha can impregnate any female. That is how I was born and grew up. So, you don’t need to marry me for the right of me having your puppies.”

I looked down at her as she rubbed her head on my chest. I sighed then rubbed her head as I looked down at her. “We’ll talk more about this later after I’ve had time to think over it ok?” She smiled as she hugged me with a content sigh. As we stood there, a knocking came from the door. I drew my knife when I heard it, and Sophia tightened her hold on my shoulder as I slowly walked over to the door. “Sophia the second I open the door you move back.” Sophia nodded as walked over to the door and drew the knife from my side. I grabbed my door handle and threw my door open then stopped when I saw three more diamond dogs all female. The first looked like a wolf with pitch black fur. She had long Black hair on her head with a pair of large ears on her head. Her eyes and nose were both a bright blue. She was wearing a purple collar with blue gems embedded in the collar. The clothes she was in didn’t cover much of anything but her legs. She was wearing a purple bra just barely covered the front of her chest, and her bottom was a thing that only just covered her vagina.

The one on the first diamond right had a yellow front her forearms and hands were the same as the first wolf. Her back half was a ruby red, and she had a collar on as well with red gems on it. She had on a pair of shorts and a top that was only held up by her chest which as a nice c cup.

The last one looked more like a Doberman with light purple hair with a blue collar on with something that looked like pearls. She had dark blue eyes, and she was dressed in a shirt with no bra and had on a red thong. She had a brown fur on her front with the rest of her coat was black and her arms were slightly smaller than the other two diamond dog girls.

“Adolfa, Blevine, Mingan!”

Sophia than out from behind me and hugged the girls behind the overjoyed girls. I sheathed my knife as I looked at the group in front of me.

“Oh, Eric these are my friends.”

Sophia grabbed my hand and pulled me from the doorway. She hugged my arm into her chest as her friends looked on. “This is my alpha, Eric.” I smiled as the Doberman walked right up to me and she sniffed me a few times then smiled.

“I like his scent and I’m willing to bet he’s an apex predator isn’t he?”

I rubbed my head as I looked at her. “Well, yes actually I am miss?”

“Mingan.”

“Ok, Mingan humans are the apex predator of my old world. We stand at the very top of the food chain. We’re the one that eats everything under us as we have no natural predators,” She smiled, and Sophia smiled as she looked at the group. “Of where are my manners please come inside we have plenty of catfish soup let if you girls are hunger.” They smiled as Sophia, and I stood aside so they could walk in. We walked in, and I closed the door and barred it seeing the sun going down.

“Wow, this place is nice Sophia, and Eric was it?”

“Thank you, Once winter goes by I’m going to make it larger in case I decide to start a family with Sophia....”

“We were just talking about that girls!”

Sophia suddenly took control of the conversation as the three of them let out a happy yell. I sighed as I walked over to my chair and let them have their time. I grabbed a wet stone I had next to my seat and drew my knife then started to sharpen my knife. I heard them talking about how their underground home had been destroyed by a rampaging manticore a few days ago when said that the conversation and I looked up at them when I felt eyes on me.

Sophia had a smiled I knew it meant she was about to ask me something I figured she. “They can stay for the winter, but they have to help around the house.” Sophia barked happily as she jumped into my lap just missing the knife as I pulled it to the side. She wrapped her arms around my neck and started to lick my cheek as a sign of joy. I smiled then wrapped my right arm around her as the three girls looked on all with smiles, but the red one gave me a seductive smile with a look in her eyes I didn’t like. ‘Oh boy!’

I got off the train to ponyville and headed for the house of Celestia personal student Twilight Sparkle. Princess Celestia had given me a letter letting me know that Twilight was expecting me to stay with her for a few days. I looked around the town as I walked and stopped when I saw a plaque in the town center that was there when the griffins attacked. I walked up to the plaque, and I was surprised to see a plaque honoring the beast hunter along with the guard who ditched us. “At least he’s getting the credit due to him.”

“Sergent Sapphire?”

I turned and saw Twilight Sparkle standing behind me bags in her hands with her dragon assistance beside her with two sacks in his hands.

“Yes, Miss Twilight Sparkle correct or do you like to be called something else?”

“No, Twilight is fine, and This is Spike. Would you like to walk home with us or do you want to look around the town before Celestia’s sun fully sets?”

“I need to talk to a…” I pulled out a letter with the mares not. “Diamond Tiara rich if you know who that is Twilight.” She smiled as she looked away with her ears on her head.

“Ya about that, she and her family left for vacation so she won’t be home for a week. So, sorry about that.”

I sighed as I looked down at the ground and looked at her again. “Ok, I’ll have to see if I can find his cabin tomorrow. So, can we please go and I can get some sleep.” Twilight smiled and as we started to walk to her home. ‘Great I have to walk through the most dangerous forest in the world.’

I had fixed all the girls a place to sleep Sophia’s friends were going to sleep in the king sized bed I had made, and Sophia was taking my old bed which I had put in a second room I added but Sophia liked to sleep with me in the master bed. I would sleep in my chair in the far corner of the room beside the door to Sophia’s room.

“We would be fine sleeping in the ground we normally sleep that way anyways.”

Mingan said as the three of them sat on the edge of the bed as Sophia grabbed all the bits I’ve taken from the dead guards so we could go into town tomorrow to get more salt and Talk to the town’s mayor to see who makes clothes in the town. I have to get all of us set for the winter as I know it’s going to be cold. I walked over to the barrel of water and grabbed a cup to get a drink. “Like I said the bed is all your free to have the bed it’s more than big enough for the three of you. Besides, If I have to I can sleep with Sophia even though I know I’m going to wake up with her in my lap tomorrow morning and.” I turned and leaned on the wall as I drank so of the water. I sat the cup down on then crossed my arms. “I know it's how you all may like to dress, but I really can’t look at any of you as you are.”

“What do we not look good?”

The red one asked as she played with her top and tried to cover more skin. “No, it just how I was raised so If you're going to live here for a few months, then I need you all to cover your bodies more.” They all smiled and but the black one covered her chest as she looked at me a blush on her face. “Can I know your names please?”

“I’m Adolfa.”

The red one said, and I looked at the black one. “So, that makes you Blevine.”

“Yes.”

Blevine said in a timid voice as she looked away from me. “Well, alright then Adolfa, Blevine, Mingan I welcome you home for the winter.” I heard their tails patting on the bed, and I took that as a sign of them being happy.”
